Electric City Logistics

Great Falls, MT5.0(2)
Tax-free MTOversized

Electric City Logistics is based in Great Falls, Montana, a sales-tax-free state, which is a concrete saving for resellers routing inventory through it. The center publishes its FBA tiers openly, from $1.15 per unit for 1 to 1,000 units down to $0.75 above 5,001 units, with a $3.00 base for FBM. One distinctive specialty is footwear, with dedicated rates of $1.15 per unit under 1,000 a month, $0.95 over that, and $1.00 per shoe box. Getting started carries a one-time $75 account setup fee, an upfront barrier worth noting. FBM is a fully listed service with free storage for the first three weeks, then $1 to $5 per bin or shelf. Core prep spans receiving, inspection, FNSKU labeling, polybagging, suffocation labels, and returns, with fragile, oversized, and shoe handling. It serves online and retail arbitrage, wholesale, and private-label sellers, and holds a 5.0 Google rating across two reviews.
